"TTT fter an experience of fourteen years as a 
F± Patent Attorney, and two years' practical ex- 
perience in a Machine-Shop and Foundry — 
a rare qualification among Patent Attorneys — this 
pamphlet is submitted to Inventors and others in- 
terested in Patents, and business solicited from 
them for prosecution before the United States 
Patent Office and in the Courts. Careful and per- 
sonal attention is given to all business committed 
to my charge. 

The employment of honest and experienced 
counsel in cases before the Patent Office is of 
such importance as to meet with official sanction 
and encouragement. The " Rules of Practice" 
revised February I, 1883, contain the following : 

"As the value of patents depends largely upon 
the careful preparation of the specifications and 
claims, the assistance of competent counsel will, 
in most cases, be of advantage to the applicant; 
but the value of their services will be proportion- 
ate to their skill and honesty, and too much care 
cannot be exercised in their selection," &c. 

TO WHOM PATENTS ARE GRANTED. 

Under existing laws, a patent may be granted 
to "any person who has invented or discovered 
—3— 



-\^\-£p 



any new and useful art, machine, manufacture, or 
composition of matter, or any new and useful im- 
provement thereof." 

The patent is issued in the name of the person 
first discovering and perfecting the invention. 
In cases where an assignment has been made of 
a whole or a part interest, the grant will be 
according to the request of the assignor. 

In case of the death of the inventor, the patent 
may be applied for by, and be issued to, the legal 
representative. 

Joint inventors are entitled to a joint patent. 
Neither can claim the invention separately. 

The fact that one man furnished the capital 
and another made the invention, does not entitle 
them to take out a patent as joint inventors. 
Great care should be exercised before signing a 
joint application, since, should the applicants 
have not made the invention jointly, the patent 
obtained will be invalid. 

WHAT IS PATENTABLE. 

A new combination of mechanical parts, 
whereby a new machine is produced, though each 
of the parts be separately old and well known. 

An improvement on any known machine, 
whereby such machine is rendered capable of 
' producing a new and useful result. 

The manufacturer of a new vendible substance, 
whether produced by a chemical or mechanical 
process. 

When an old manufacture is improved by new 



method of working, the means of producing the 
improvement, whether chemical or mechanical, 
are, in most instances, patentable. 

The application of a known substance or ma- 
terial to a new purpose, and also the application 
of old machines in manufactures to which they 
have not been before applied, when a beneficial 
result is obtained, is the subject of a patent. 

WHAT IS NOT PATENTABLE. 

A patent will not be granted for a principle or a 
result. The mere application of an old machine 
to a new purpose is not patentable. The substi- 
tution of one material for another, or mechanical 
equivalents, are not patentable, unless a better 
result is obtained. 

Harmful and immoral inventions are not pat- 
entable. 

HOW TO PROCEED TO OBTAIN A PATENT. 

When any person claims to have invented or 
discovered any new and useful art, manufacture, 
machine, or composition of matter, or any new and 
useful improvement thereof, as stated under the 
head' "what is patentable," the first question to be 
settled is: Has it been patented ? The person 
desiring this information can send me a written 
description, accompanied by a sketch or model 
of the device, and a preliminary examination 
will be made at the Patent Office of the patents 
of the class which the invention relates, and in 
scientific works. If it is found on such examina- 
—5— 



tion that the device or invention has been patented, 
or that is not new, the party will be fully advised, 
according to the facts. For this examination 
and written report, with printed copies of 
the discovered conflicting patents, or a written 
extract of the conflicting matter found in the 
scientific work, my charge is $5. 

As a general rule, the preliminary examination 
enables me,with comparative certainty,to advise the 
inquirer whether or not the invention is patentable. 

If the applicant is advised that the device or 
invention is patentable, the specification and 
drawings will be prepared on the receipt of $20. 
The papers in the case, accompanied with a trac- 
ing or sun copy of the drawings, will be sent to 
the inventor for examination and execution. They 
should be promptly executed and returned, with 
suggestions, if any, to me with $ 1 5 to pay the first 
Government fee. If the case is very complicated 
and demands extra labor, notice in advance will 
be given and the fee stated. When the applica- 
tion is allowed, the official letter of allowance 
will be sent the applicant, and the balance of 
Government fee ($20) will be due. 

It is recommended that the final Government 
fee of $20, which the law requires to be paid 
within six months from the date of allowance, be 
paid promptly, because prompt payment often 
avoids a troublesome and expensive litigation 
known as an "Interference." 

The cost of obtaining a patent through my 
agency, in ordinary cases, is : 



First Government fee $15 00 

Attorney's fees, including cost of drawings 

and examination 25 00 

Second Government fee, to be paid within 

sixmonths 20 00 

Total $60 00 

BLANK APPLICATIONS. 

A practice has sprung up, with some solicitors, 
of sending for execution blank applications, upon 
which specifications are afterward prepared and 
filed. This course should be condemned by 
applicants for patents. It has received official 
censure, in the Commissioner's decision in the 
case of Reed v. Roberts, as follows : 

" There is reason to believe that the practice of 
forwarding to clients, to be signed and witnessed, 
blank sheets, upon which specifications are after- 
ward to be written by the agent, and to which the 
previously-prepared petition and oath of the appli- 
cant are to be attached, is not yet abandoned by 
attorneys practicing before this office. 

" It is scarcely necessary to say that the inven- 
tor or applicant who would sign and swear to a 
blank piece of paper, upon which some one else 
is, without his supervision, to write a description 
of an invention, is guilty of an act of moral per- 
jury; and that the attorney or agent who know- 
ingly presents papers so prepared to the Patent 
Office, is guilty of a fraud upon the office and the 
Government. I know of few offenses that may 
more properly be characterized as gross < miscon- 
duct.' No power of attorney can justify any man 
in presenting to a public officer a paper purport- 
ing to be signed and sworn to by a man who never 
saw it, and who, at the moment that it is presented 
in his name, is absolutely ignorant of its contents." 

—7— 



On the same point, the " Rules of Practice " as 
revised February i, 1883, declare: 

" Every application signed or sworn to in blank, 
or without actual inspection of the petition and 
specification, or altered or partly filled up after 
being signed or sworn to, will, upon the dis- 
covery of such irregularity at any time before the 
delivery of the patent, be stricken from the files," 
&c. 

MODELS, &c. 

A model is not required as part of the applica- 
tion unless officially called for; but in order to 
have the case prepared and demonstrated fully, 
it is advisable to furnish one ; it will prevent delay 
should the office call for a model, and also serve 
as evidence in subsequent tests of right in the 
courts. Specimens of composition of matter are 
required. 

DRAWINGS. 

Too much importance cannot be attached to 
drawings; since, under the present practice, 
models are not absolutely required, the value, 
and even the validity, of the patent may depend 
on the clearness and sufficiency of the drawings. 
It is well known that there are thousands of exist- 
ing patents in which the improvements are but 
partially, or very poorly, illustrated, and when 
attempts have been made to dispose of such pat- 
ents the vagueness and defects apparent in the 
drawings prejudice investors against the inventions, 
when, in reality, they may have been of great 
value. Again, when patents of this character are 
judicially tested, the uncertainty and ambiguity 
—8— 



of the illustrations are likely to mystify opposing 
experts and the courts as to what construction 
and combination of parts are to be covered. 

In all cases prepared by me the drawings 
are made under my personal supervision by an 
experienced and skilled mechanical draughtsman, 
and every precaution is taken to have the inven- 
tion fully and clearly shown in all its parts by dif- 
ferent views, one or more being made in per- 
spective, so that the invention may be easily and 
readily understood by the Examiners in the Pat- 
ent Office, and by the public when the patent is 
issued. 

SPECIFICATION. 

Much knowledge and skill are required to 
properly and legally prepare this part of the 
application. Such persons only as have made the 
business a study and received special scientific 
and legal preparation are qualified to prepare a 
specification for a valid patent. The specification 
should give the state of the art ; also state fully 
and clearly the object and nature of the inven- 
tion, and such advantages as may exist, and, 
finally, contain a full, clear, and exact description 
of the improvements, so as to include all legiti- 
mate equivalents. 

CLAIMS. 

The scope and value of a patent depend on the 
character of its claims. They should not restrict 
the invention or improvements to any particular 
construction described in the specification and 
shown in the drawings; neither is it safe to- rely 
—9— 



on a single broad claim, because such a claim might 
be adjudged invalid, and yet the defense fail as to 
other claims more restricted. 

"REJECTIONS AND APPEALS." 

It often occurs that the Examiner in the Patent 
Office objects to the claims as originally presented. 
In such cases I am enabled to give proper ex- 
planation, and having access to the records in the 
Patent Office, examination of the references cited 
can be made, and the necessary amendments pro- 
posed, to secure the allowance of the patent with- 
out delay. In case the application is finally re- 
jected by the Examiner, without good reasons, 
an appeal lies from his decision to the Examiners- 
in-chief. The Government fee, payable on 
taking this appeal, is $10. From an adverse 
decision of the Examiners-in-chief, an appeal 
lies to the Commissioner of Patents. The Gov- 
ernment fee for this appeal is $20. From an 
unfavorable decision of the Commissioner of Pat- 
ents, an appeal lies to the Supreme Court of the 
District of Columbia, sitting in banc. My fees 
in these appeals will be reasonable. 

REISSUES. 

Whenever a patent is found to be inoperative 
or invalid, by reason of a defective specification, 
or that it does not cover the whole invention, or 
that it embraces that which was not new, the errors 
may be corrected by a reissue. The reissued 
patent expires at the same time the original would 
have expired. No improvement or mechanical 
—10- 



changes in the original invention can be intro- 
duced in the reissue application. The Govern- 
ment fee in this class of cases is $30, and cost of 
drawings and abstract of title in addition. My 
minimum fee in these cases is $25. The " Rules 
of Practice" as revised February I, 1883, effect 
important changes in the practice relative to reis- 
sue applications, in view of the recent decisions of 
the courts. 

Correspondence is solicited from patentees and 
owners of weak or defective patents, and from 
those who are about to apply for a reissue. 

CAVEATS. 

A caveat is a confidential communication filed 
in the Patent Office, and it consists of a specifica- 
tion, drawings, oath, and petition. The specifica- 
tion must contain a clear description of the intended 
invention. It is of great importance that this 
specification shall be drawn with proper care. The 
inventor can send me a sketch or drawing, with 
a description of the invention, accompanied by 
the sum of $25, and I can prepare the papers and 
send them on for execution The Government 
fee is $10, and mine, including drawings, is $15. 

DESIGNS. 

A design patent can be obtained for novelties 
in the shape or configuration of articles, or im* 
pressions by any means whatever. These patents 
are of great value to the trade. 

The Government fees for a design patent are : 
—11— 



On filing every application for a design patent.... $10 
On issuing a design patent for 3)4 years, no 
further charge. 

On issuing a design patent for 7 years 5 

On issuing a design patent for 14 years 20 

My fee for obtaining a patent of this kind is $15. 
REJECTED CASES. 

Inventors having " rejected"' applications be- 
fore the Patent Office, can send me a power 
of attorney with reasons for revocation; upon 
receipt of which an examination and report will 
be made as to the probability of obtaining a 
favorable issue. To this class of cases it is pro- 
posed to give special attention, as it is believed 
that many apparently " hopeless " cases can be 
carried to a successful issue. My fees are from 
325 upwards, according to the difficulty attending 
the case. No charge will be made unless suc- 
cessful in securing a patent. 

TRADE-MARKS. 

Trade-marks used in commerce with any foreign 
nation, or with Indian tribes, may be registered 
by their owners under the provisions of Act of 
Congress approved March 3, 1881. This law in- 
cludes protection to owners of Trade-marks sell- 
ing goods in either Canada, Mexico, Cuba, West 
India Islands, or any other American province or 
country, or any foreign country. Government 
fees, $25. Counsel fees, Si 5. 

INTERFERENCES. 

These are conflicts between two or more pend- 
ing applications, or an application with a patent 
—12— 



for the same invention. The patent is awarded 
to the party proving priority of invention, and the 
proceedings involve affidavits of the parties, the 
taking of depositions in testimony, and the pre- 
sentation of the case in argument before the Patent 
Office. Special attention will be given to these 
cases. My fees for conducting an interference 
will be reasonable. 

FOREIGN PATENTS. 

Patents in foreign countries, except Canada, 
should be applied for before a patent is allowed 
to issue in -this country, because patents in the 
foreign countries are granted to the first intro- 
ducer, whether or not he be the original inven- 
tor of the thing for which he seeks a patent. 
Foreign patents are obtained by me on the most 
reasonable terms. The cost in each case will be 
furnished on application. 

As a general rule, the cost of taking out patents 
in the following countries, usually selected by 
Americans with valuable inventions, is : 

Great Britain $200 00 

German Empire 80 00 

France 80 00 

Belgium 75 00 

Spain and Colonies 100 00 

Italy 100 00 

Austria and Hungary 100 00 

Kussia: 3 years 200 00 

" 5years 300 00 

10 years .' 500 00 

Canada: 5years 40 00 

" lOyears 60 00 

" 15years 80 00 

—13— 



These charges cover all expenses, except the 

small taxes levied at intervals during the life of 

the patent. 

OPINIONS. 

The rendition of opinions as to the validity of 
patents, and as to whether one patent is an in- 
fringement of another, is a very useful and im- 
portant branch of the profession, since it tends to 
protect and assure investments of capital in working 
the invention. It is essential to every manufac- 
turer and capitalist, before investing money in a 
patent, or proceeding to manufacture the improve- 
ments shown and described in the patent, that he 
should have a search made to disclose the state of 
the art, and have an opinion rendered by compe- 
tent counsel upon the validity of the patent, and 
whether it infringes on any other patent. The 
reason of this precaution is apparent, since no 
one would buy real estate without examination 
of title first made, and the same rule holds good 
with the purchase of patents. 

I make searches and abstracts of title, and 
render opinions on the subject of title and 
validity of patents, charging for my services 
according to the time and labor involved. 

LABELS, PRINTS, &c. 

Designed to be used upon articles of manufac- 
ture, are now registered in the Patent Office, under 
the provisions of the Act of Congress approved 
June 1 8, 1874. 

By the word " label," is meant a slip of paper, 
or other material, to be attached to manufactured 
—14- 



articles, or to packages containing them, and bear- 
ing tKe name of the manufacturer, direction for 
use, &c. 

By the word "print," is meant any device, word 
or figures (not a trade-mark) impressed directly 
upon the article, to denote the name of the manu- 
facturer, &c. My fee, including the Government 
fee, is $10. 

COPYRIGHTS. 

These are granted to citizens of the United 
States, or to a resident therein. The term of a 
copyright is twenty-eight years from the time of 
recording the same. My fee in these cases is 
$$. 

INFRINGEMENT. 

I make it a part of my business to serve parties 
in this branch of the patent law. My charges 
will be regulated according to the amount of 
labor involved. 

COPIES OF PATENTS. 

Printed Copies of the specification and draw- 
ings of patents issued since January I, 1866, fur- 
nished at 25 cents each, or twenty copies for $3. 

Contracts, assignments, licenses, and all papers 
relating to patents, prepared with the greatest care, 
at reasonable charges. 

Patentees and manufacturers desiring re- 
tained counsel to watch their interests, can 
address me and secure favorable terms.
